Tech startup idea: instead of starting your car with your key, you get in, turn on the display panel, enter your password, get your phone out, open the authenticator app, enter your pin, enter the timed passcode, then open the start menu, then helpdesk, then "request engine start", then submit a tic

I refuse to give em dashes to the AI
The Aussie press not holding back when it comes to its coverage of neo-Nazis.
So you need two people and the AI to do what used to be the job of one writer or one graphic designer. Sounds efficient.
Another protest in Washington, D.C.!!! Women dressed in red lined the street for almost a block!! What a strong statement by women who took time off to protest on a Tuesday!! Thank you so much!! š
*cracks knuckles* okay so you know how the media has a problem with taking snippets of scientific studies out of context and writing articles which mislead the public? now imagine a computer program is doing that when you ask it questions about scientific literature but also it makes stuff up.

Bluesky is for sure the (?) top platform for scientific chatter currently (with LinkedIn). But frankly, more engagement is needed here and transitioning from #academictwitter is part of broader fragmentation. And š¦ is still incredibly US based, also for research. www.wired.com/story/bluesk...
āI think many Americans wrongly believe there would be one clear unambiguous moment where we go from ādemocracyā to āauthoritarianism.ā Instead, this is exactly how it happens ā a blurring here, a norm destroyed there, (ā¦) Then you wake up one morning and our country is different. ā
Iāve already seen this happen to *very* experienced engineers. Whatever weāre doing will not last.
It's also important to note that unlike historical fascist movements, ours was fomented in a time of abundance and prosperity. These aren't hardened veterans of a great lost war. They've suffered no real hardship. If a reckoning comes they'll fold like cheap lawn chairs. Not a single dawg.
Listening to a podcast where a well known tech world wannabe fascist calls journalism "nonconsensual invasion of privacy for profit" and thinks that's clever and my goodness does that reveal a lot of how completely brain wormed a bunch of these guys are once they faced a tiny bit of criticism.

Voor iedereen die gaat miepen dat al het misdaad uit asielzoekers komt: www.cbs.nl/nl-nl/dossie... Let op, "uit buitenland" is ook Belgiƫ, Duitsland, Denemarken, etc. Toch verreweg de grootste categorieƫn zijn Nederlander.
Remembering today when pro-GOP media erupted with outrage over Kamala Harris' warning that Trump had plans to militarize the national guard and deploy them on the streets of US cities. Indeed, he had such plans. And now he's implementing them.
The Internet, smart phones, and capitalism have severely damaged the social agreement that other people exist.
"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense
Inderdaad, belachelijk. Dat hoor je alleen te doen bij moslims en asielzoekers.
Steve Shirley escaped the Holocaust as a child & went on to found one of the earliest software startups. The really impressive part? She employed women programmers who had been pushed out of the workforce after having kids, & allowed them flexible, family friendly, work from home jobsāin the 1960s!
I often find my students' code is littered with dependencies that are loaded and then not used. This is a bad coding practice, but it's also very boring to check. I updated {psychdsish} to include a function that does this for you.

This is the first time Iāve ever seen a social platform say that these child safety (aka anti-porn laws) are bad for everyone. Governments around the world are āthink of childrenāing their way into tracking you online and forcing a monopoly of the internet. Itās getting really scary.

A Village in The Third Reich is an essential and terrifying read. It was a really a new perspective on the horror of the Nazis for me because it tells individual stories and shows how fascism seeped into all facets of life.
it seems like these guys get VERY uncomfortable when you ask them "why should they keep paying you a bunch of money if ChatGPT can do everything you can do," which indicates we absolutely need to be asking them this more often
